Their 300-hectare Ygay estate, surrounding the winery in the southern point of Rioja Alta, is one of the most important single estates in Spain, producing wines of remarkable concentration, elegance and longevity. The Gran Reserva is their benchmark expression, a wine that has been made in the same uncompromising style for generations and continues to set the standard for what Rioja can achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVineyard \u0026amp; Production\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced from the Ygay estate in Rioja Alta, with vineyards ranging from 320 to 485 metres altitude.

Today, under the leadership of Juan Luis Cañas and his son, Jon, the bodega continues to combine tradition with innovation, ensuring Rioja Alavesa remains one of Spain’s most exciting wine regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"970\" data-end=\"987\"\u003eViticulture\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"989\" data-end=\"1526\"\u003eThe estate controls 350 hectares of vineyards divided into an extraordinary 870 separate plots, each carefully categorised according to its character and potential. All the vineyards are within 3.1 miles of the winery, allowing meticulous control over viticulture and harvest timing. Farming follows rational and, in many cases, organic practices, with a strong emphasis on respecting terroir and preserving biodiversity. Every plot is managed according to its own personality, ensuring only the best grapes are selected for each wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1528\" data-end=\"1544\"\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1546\" data-end=\"2114\"\u003eOn arrival at the bodega, grapes undergo a double sorting process before being de-stemmed and gently crushed. Fermentation is carried out in small stainless steel tanks using a combination of indigenous and selected yeasts, followed by maceration for 20 days at controlled temperatures to maximise colour and aromatic complexity. Malolactic fermentation also takes place in tank. The wine is then aged for 12 months in a mix of 60% French oak and 40% American oak barrels, followed by a further 12 months of bottle ageing to achieve balance, elegance, and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"2116\" data-end=\"2134\"\u003eTasting Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2136\" data-end=\"2489\"\u003eRuby red in colour with a clean, expressive nose of balsamic notes, ripe plum, and subtle oak.
